Having problems with your HP Digital Cameras ?

My HP photosmart E427 camera flash does not work. I have check the setting.
Help please!

Answers :

If here is no way that the flash is working even after you have tried the manual mode,it is possible that the flash unit is faulty in the camera.\012it can be a pico fuse or even a line break but you will need to open. If the fault goes beyond this then you might need the assistance of the HP service as most of the spares cannot be got otherwise-- except passive componets.

Message keeps coming up 'Please turn camera off then on again'. Checked battery & memory card ok. Discovered if I point at window (daylight) it will take picture...but not indoors (even though it's bright enough.

First off all thank you for posting your question on FIxya and wish you a Happy New Year.Now about the problem. Regarding the shutter its not a problem. You can eliminate this issue by using the "Intelligent ISO" setting on your camera, which a ...

CAMERA IS THREE MONTHS OLD. ON MY LAST OUTING I NOTICED A PERFECT CIRCLE SPOT ONLY IN SHOTS OF THE SKY. THE SPOT IS IN THE IDENTICAL PLACE ON ALL SKY SHOT PHOTOS NO MATTER WHAT FOCAL LENGHT IS USED. THE LENSE IS CLEAN AT BOTH ENDS. I CHECKED MY PHOTOS WHEN I ORIGINALLY GOT THIS CAMERA AND THERE IS NO ROUND SPOTS ANYWHERE. THE SPOT IS IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF ANY SHOT WHERE THERE ARE CLOUDS OR SKY. FLASH PICTURES, INTERIOR PICTURES AND THE LIKE, THERE IS NO SPOT. PLEASE HELP...RICHIE

If you have another lens, switch it and take some shots of the sky. If the spot is gone, it probably was the lens that needs cleaning/servicing. However, it's more likely that there's dirt on your CCD. On your camera's menu, select mirror lockup/cl ...

Hi there, I have a nikon D50 camera and the inbuilt flash unit does not work any more.... it pops up in dark conditions bu tthen fails to fire. The camera will adjust the shutter speed as if the flash was turned off, and the flash doesn't work in any flash mode or any function mode. Could it be the bulb perhaps? I have reset the camera as well to no avail.
please help!
thanks :)

Hello, and welcome to Fixya.. This is a very common and known issue with the D50 camera by Nikon. Some buyers flash only works once and then quits. Its due to the speed of which the flash pops up, it literally breaks ...

I received the HP CB350 digital camera for Christmas and I havn't been able to use it! The flash does not work. I've tried reading the manual, new batteries, and changing the flash to all the time and nothing works. When I take a picture, the flash makes a crackling noise, but does not flash. I'm about to throw the camera away cause it's junk with no flash. Please help.

My Lumix DMC FZ30 use to work using a 4gb SDHC SanDisk card, but now says, "Memory card error please check the card". However, the card works fine in any other cameras. A small pocket Fujifilm camera for example. I was told to reformat the card in the camera, but I'm unable to use any part of the FZ30 camera while the card is inserted and on. Please help as I want to use my 4gb card and not just the 2gb ones which work fine so I know it's not a problem with the camera reading memory cards, just

Memory cards have a limited life. If you've been using it a lot and erasing it or formatting it, it probably is just worn out. Take it to a camera shop and try a new card. If that works, go to a discount store and buy a new one. It will cost less ...

Flash Problems Ok here is my problem. The flash on my camera won't go. I finally got the flash options to reappear but the flash is still not going. The screen has a lighting bolt symbol with a yellow blicking light and also on the camera itself. Also on the screen this is blicking, E:91:01. This is driving me crazy. Now the flash options are no longer there. Has this happened to anyone else? Please help Thank you. Patty

I have exactly the same problem. i have had the camera for 1year and this started to happen on new years eve. has anyone got a answer to the problem? its been a great camera apart from this problem and would hate to have to buy a new one. thanks ...

I bought my camera today from ebay and I do not have a battery to switch it on and check. I attached my 18-135 mm lens to the camera. I tried to look through the viewfinder and I cant see a thing. Everything from the viewfinder looks grayish and blurry. I do not have battery right now to check the camera when it's on and neither I can restore the camera to its default factory settings. Can you please tell me if there is something wrong with the camera or if it's a usual thing for Nikon D80 and a

Hi.Re: "Everything from the viewfinder looks grayish and blurry."Ensure that the problem is not the CCD sensor. A faulty CCD sensor will tipically return a grayish or purple-toned blurred image. Kind of shadows-like. If you ha ...

Hi,
My Nikon Coolpix S3000 flash has stopped working after only 3 weeks of having the camera and an aeroplane icon is also showing on the display. I have had the camera at elevation and in humidity, but with a new camera I would think this would not be a problem.
I have also charged the camera totally but the flash still does not work.
Please advise me any fix.
Many thanks
Shelley

Sounds like you somehow put the camera in "airplane" mode which keeps the camera from interfering with the electronics on an airplane. Change the mode. ...

Canon T3i thinks that there is an external flash attached and will not allow use of the built in pop up flash. I have tried putting on the external flash and turning it off while it is on the camera and literally every combination of the sort to try and see if I can get the camera to realize that the flash is no longer there. Please help....

There is a pin in the hot shoe that operates the external flash switch on the bottom of the top cover. It is probably stuck down - maybe by sticky liquid spillage. Clean with a toothbrush and windex and see if it will then pop up. ...

The flash suddenly stopped working...I noticed over the weekend when I was using my camera at night or indoors the flash wasn't automatically going off. I checked the settings and the flash was turned on, I even tried re-setting the camera and it still doesn't work?

My camera fell into a pond recently for approximately 5 seconds.It was a Olympus something??? -mini digital it worked for some seconds after fishing it out and again a red light flashed on the right of the panel were the green light flashes to signal that it is on. The battery and other stuff like memory card all in good condition and are not damaged or wet.I AM DESPERATE FOR HELP AS IT IS NOT MY CAMERA!!!!!!!! HELP even if it is go to your local camera shop or visit so-n-so give me help,please

My camera keeps saying "card cover open" before operating the camera in water, please check the battery and usb covers for foreign objects" Ive checked and make sure they are closed but it keeps saying it and won't let me use the camera at all, not even to upload pictures.

I had my nikon coolpix s210 in my bag and I bumped against a wall, not that hard it seemed. I checked my camera and everything seemed fine but once I turned it on a big crack appeared on the screen. Is it worth the fix or should I just buy a new one? I checked the camera shortly before I placed it in my bag so I don't think the break came before the incident. But I'm heart broken and desperate for my camera. Please help if possible. Thank you.

Err CF Recharged battery. Took 5 pics with camera. Turned off camera. Short while later turned on camera, it would take no more pics. Err CF is flashing on menu. Tried to view pics... says there is no image. Tried a different empty CF disk. Then Full CF is flashing on menu. Cannot take any pics. Please HELP! Cathy

TRy and reformat the CF card through the camera. Youll lose the pics for sure but you cant see them anyway. You can also check for bent pins in the CF slot. Sometimes if you shut down the camera in mid write to the card, itll mess up the cards FAT (f ...

Have happily used my SLR panasonic digital camera and taken thousands of photos on the SD card, but today it says "memory card error please check the card". Never seen that before and cannot access any of the photos on it. Can't see anything wrong with card, won't read in another panasonic camera either, nor through the card reader attached to my printer. Camera works fine with diferent card. How do I rescue my photos please?

Have you tried this memory card on your computer? \012 If this memory card can be read functionally on your computer, you'd better copy off all your stored photos to another memory card or drive and format this card immediately to check whether ...

Green light on camera back to the right of the 'delete' button continually flashes on-off about 1 second intervals as soon as battery is inserted as long as CF card is in place. Switching camera ON produces no visible operational indicators. Depressing "Menu" button flashes: hour glass; menu display; blank screen. Holding button down just cycles as above. Swapped lens, data card, battery, connected EH-5 power source; nothing makes any difference. Checked same lens in another D70 camera; it's OK.

I would start by looking into the memory card slot to see if you have a bent pin. You may need a small light and a magnifying glass to see them. If the pins are okay, then you can try a reset by holding down the BKT and metering buttons toget ...
